Matrix isolation experiments have enabled the first characterization of the aluminum–silane complex Al⋅SiH 4 ( η 2 coordination) which can be converted reversibly by selective photolysis into its tautomer HAlSiH 3 [Eq. (1)]. Broadband UV/Vis photolysis causes decomposition of HAlSiH 3 to give the aluminum( I ) species AlSiH 3 .
